The particularly shameful thing about Steal This Computer Book 2 is that its title rips off Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book, a 1970 how-to guide for anarchists and happy freeloaders. Where Hoffman strives in his book to subvert a society that he finds repellent, Wallace Wang merely describes some technologies and a few vaguely interesting stories about them. Some better choices: read Hacking Exposed, Second Edition for its excellent coverage of hackers' techniques and software tools, and Network Intrusion Detection for its accounts of attacks on secured networks. And, for an account of government surveillance of Internet users--perhaps an indication that the system needs subversion now more than ever--read The Puzzle Palace. --David Wall
Topics covered: Naughty things to do with computers and on the Internet. The author explores research sites with which you can dig up information on people, and explains something about gaining access to private computing resources. Historical exploits of black-hat hackers get considerable attention, and viruses get lots of attention.
This thoroughly updated new edition incorporates the latest on: Trojan Horse programs -- how they work, where to find them, and what kind of damage they can cause; the illegal copying of MP3 music files and DVD-encrypted movie disks; computer forensics used for recovering deleted data; security issues accompanying broadband Internet technologies; and more. A gallery of hacker's tools and a CD-ROM with various antihacker and security tools are included.
